Mordashov’s Nord makes a daring Hormuz crossing en route to Seychelles after Dubai repair
Russia’s wealthiest man, Alexey Mordashov, had his $500 million Nord megayacht repaired in Dubai and then boldly sailed the 465-foot vessel through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman toward Seychelles, a display of luxury bravado as AIS sightings battered along a militarized waterway; Nord has previously visited Seychelles in 2022–2024 and the voyage follows a Dubai repair stint.
